Then it hit me sometime last week when yet another cell phone went off during Warren Court lecture. As another gaggle of stylish juniors in tight jeans walked out of Sever, a water bottle in one hand and a cigarette dangling from another, I realized that this wasn't the campus I used to know. Where before, "the look" ranged from J.Crew all-American to a slightly grungy indifference to style, something has now clearly shifted...
Which is why these guys just might hit. The stars may be lining up just right. McGwire brings to the task a bulky precision that is riveting. He hits moon shots. Griffey has a more modern cool of the stylish synchromesh variety that Michael Jordan brought to hoops. It's about Griffey's joyful acceptance of his personal power...
...their new venture the day before. With assistants and publicity folk fluttering about like bridal attendants, one had the feeling of being at the white-hot center of the world.

Orson Welles' masterwork remains the ur-text of film schools worldwide because it blew wide open the envelope of cinematic possiblity. Mean Streets (1973). The gritty realism of Scorsese's breakthrough movie began the stylish exploration of the low-rent wiseguy that he completed in "Goodfellas." The Manchurian Candidate (1962). The finest American political film ever goes deep and noir into the fear and loathing at the heart of Washington, D.C. The Getaway (1972). Noir cinema reaches its apotheosis with Peckinpah's rendering of Jim Thompson. Throw...
